Care
Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and harsh cleaners to preserve the wood, pigment, and raffia fibers.
The Story

Worn during initiation rites, the masks move with hypnotic rhythm—each carve and pigment swirl intended to awaken the spirit within. Though no longer used in ceremony, this mask carries the echo of those powerful performances and ancestral wisdom into your home.
